Rozae Nichols is an American designer who can manifest concepts into unique clothing. Her collections provoke further sources of inspiration to the women who collect her creations. Handmade details merge with an unusual tactile language to create clothing for artistically responsive women. Rozae Nichols Fall/Winter 2009/2010 collection is the visual account of hope and progress from darkness to light, from ambiguity to positive force. Spirituality and mysticism are the pervading themes of the season. A silk smoke print evokes ephemeral movement, ghost-like illumination. A black column dress comes alive with a graphic of chalk drawn lightening. Combining mysterious imagery, rich texture, and fluid draping the Fall/Winter 2009/2010 shimmers and envelops the body in light and shadow. Colours are warm and neutral accented with a metallic edge all of which suggests her respect for harmony and longevity. A renewed feeling of confidence in the future is conveyed by soft feminine forms, sensual use of light and transparency. Rozae by Rozae Nichols continues the tradition of the brand’s first collection. Conceived for a youthful generation of women the line targets a feminine tomboy with a quirky sense of irony. In the spirit of “arte povera” appropriation of disparate materials and symbols are at the core of the creative voice for Rozae by Rozae Nichols. For Fall/Winter 2009/2010 a 19 century x-ray print suggests her reverence for non-obsolete technology; the light bulb graphic is used as an icon for the spirit of ideas, inventions, electricity and light; tree branches and antlers inspire reflection of nature’s remarkable functional design. Both collections are manufactured in Los Angeles in selected factories with a familiar milieu where artisanal craftsmanship and workers’ rights are fully embraced and supported. The whole of Rozae Nichols’ work is enveloped by optimism and suggests that people should look ahead to the future with compassion and confidence.
